Here at the Lounge we just love giving back to those who enjoy visiting the site and seeing what we have to offer. Today is something a bit different: we’re venturing out and doing a big Blu-ray contest. We got giveaways for the recent James Bond releases (just in time for Quantum of Solace) and the 40th anniversary of Planet of the Apes.
We’ve done so many SD contests in the past, that it’s a little strange saying that this is a BD contest. Hopefully, it’ll catch on and you’ll see more BD contests in the future.
Like with the “Hulk/Strangers” contest, you’ll have to answer a few questions correctly. So put forth a little effort and answer some questions that aren’t that difficult.
Here’s what to do:
Address the e-mails to dvdcontests@4sternstaging.com
For the subject, have it say Martini Drinking Apes
In the body of the email please provide the answers to the 3 questions plus your mailing address.
For this contest, the winners and prizes will be randomly chosen. Some may end up with copies of Planet of the Apes, while others with the six James Bond films.
This contest ends November 21st at noon Central Time and is only open to residents of the United States and Canada..
So here are the three questions and further down are images and info on what you can win. Of course this contest wouldn’t be possible without the PR firms and the various studios that make it happen. So a big thanks to them!
Question 1 – Name the Mel Brooks comedy that featured a spoof of Planet of the Apes.
Question 2 – There have been how many James Bond films?
Question 3 – Who performed the title song for The Living Daylights?
And with that….good luck…here’s what you can win!
